The Richmond Folk Festival offers a variety of exciting volunteer areas. With over 800 volunteers each year, we can't do it without you! The festival is a wonderful place for civic, school, church, and office organizations to volunteer. Or simply sign up with your best friend or significant other to spend a day together at the Richmond Folk Festival!
Benefits: You’ll get a free T-shirt, free close-in parking during your shift, and a discount at the merchandise tent! Plus a very special chance to join the after party where you can rub elbows with some of the performers!

Some current volunteer positions available:
Beer/Wine Sales – Beer and wine sales volunteers will be in an ideal location to enjoy the music, watch the festival, and meet a lot of people. We’ll take care of ID bracelets. Volunteers will pour drinks and must be at least 21 years old.
Bucket Brigade – We need energetic, smiling folks roaming the site with our signature orange buckets looking for "drops in the bucket". These donations to the festival will help with the production of the next festival, so here is your chance to keep this wonderful event going! Great assignment for groups to work together.
